Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless telephone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice-almost anywhere, anytime. But an
important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless
phones, one that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When
using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice
good common sense and remember the following tips:
1. Get to knew your wireless phone and its features such as speed
dial and redial. If available, these features help you to place your
call without taking attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands free device. If possible, add an
additional layer of convenience and safety to your wireless phone
with one of the many hands free accessories available today.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to access
your wireless phone without removing your eyes from the road. If
you get the incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let
your voice mail answer it for you.
4. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be
hazardous.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting
down a “to do” list or flipping through your address book takes
attention away from your primary responsibility, driving safety.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; If possible, place calls when
you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls
when your car will be stationary. If you need to make a call while
moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors,
they continue.
Introduction
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be
distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are
driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert
your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for you. Dial 9-1-1 or other local
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical
emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies, if you see
an auto accident crime in progress or other serious emergency
where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other to call emergency
number, as you would want others to do for you.
10. Call raodside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless
assistance number when necessary. If you see a broken down
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor
traffic accident where no one appears injuried, or a vehicle you
know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special nonemergency wireless number.

Exposure to Radio Frequency
Energy
In 1991, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992, the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI), updated the
1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect to
human exposure to RF energy. Over 120 scientists,
engineers and physicians from universities,
government health agencies and industry, after
reviewing the available body of research, developed
this updated Standard. In March, 1993, the U.S.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
proposed the adoption of this updated Standard.
The design of your LGIC fixed wireless terminal
complies with this updated Standard. Of course, if
you want to limit RF exposure even further than
updated ANSI Standard, you may choose to control
the duration of your calls and operate your phone in
the most power efficient manner.

Chapter 9. Safety Guidelines
Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receivers and also sends
out radio frequency(RF) signals.
European and international agencies have set standards and
recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy.
Internation Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1996
Verband Deutscher Elektrotechnik(VDE) DIN-0848
Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in
Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy
National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom,
GS 11, 1988
American National Standards Institute(ANSI) IEEE C95.1-1992
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NGRP), Report 86
Department of Heath and Welfare Canada, Safety Code 6
These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For
example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the
available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard.
The design of your phone complies with these standards when used
normally. Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorised antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Extend your antenna fully
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in
use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may
cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than
otherwise needed.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects,
including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area
over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.
Batteries
Caution : All batteries can cause property damage, injury or bums if
a conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains,
touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an
electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such
unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged
battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or
other container with metal objects. When the battery is detached
from the phone, your batteries are packed with a protective battery
cover, please use this cover for storing your batteries when not in
use.
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones
in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.
Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
Give full attention to driving-driving safely is your first
responsibility;
Use hands-free operation, if available;
Pull off the road and park before making or answer a call if
driving conditions so require.
Efficient Phone Operation
Most modem electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Normal Position
Pacemakers
Hold the phone as you would with any other telephone with the
antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six(6”) inches be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations
of Wireless Technology Research.
Tips on Efficient Operation:
For your phone to operate most efficiently;
52
53
Persons with pacemakers;
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the
potential for interference;
If you have any reason to suspect that an interference is taking

areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not
always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as petrol
stations; below cleck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas(such as propane
or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where
you would normally be advised to turn off you your vehicle engine.

equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately
stickled from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your phone OFF in
health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles
Why the concern?
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacture or
its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult
the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your
vehicle.
Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (i.e.,
radiofrequency radiation) in the microwave range while being used.
They also emit very low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF),
considered non-significant, when in the stand-by mode. It is well
known that high levels of RF can produce biological damage
through heating effects (this is how your microwave oven is able to
cook food). However, it is not known whether, to what extent, or
through what mechanism, lower levels of RF might cause adverse
health effects as well. Although some research has been done to
address these questions, no clear picture of the biological effects of
this type of radiation has emerged to date. Thus, the available
science does not allow us to conclude that mobile phones are
absolutely safe, or that they are unsafe. However, the available
scientific evidence does not demonstrate any adverse health
effects associated with the use of mobile phones.

FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile
phones, including cellular phones and PCS phones. The following
summarizes what is known—and what remains unknown—about
whether these products can pose a hazard to health, and what can
be done to minimize any potential risk. This information may be
used to respond to questions.
What kinds of phones are in question?
55
Questions have been raised about hand-held mobile phones, the
kind that have a built-in antenna that is positioned close to the
user’s head during normal telephone conversation. These types of
mobile phones are of concern because of the short distance
between the phone’s antenna—the primary source of the RF—and
the person’s head. The exposure to RF from mobile phones in
which the antenna is located at greater distances from the user (on
the outside of a car, for example) is drastically lower than that from
hand-held phones, because a person’s RF exposure decreases
rapidly with distance from the source. The safety of so-called
“cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to the
telephone wiring in a house and which operate at far lower power
levels and frequencies, has not been questioned.
How much evidence is there that hand-held mobile phones might be
harmful?
Briefly, there is not enough evidence to know for sure, either way;
however, research efforts are on-going.
The existing scientific evidence is conflicting and many of the
studies that have been done to date have suffered from flaws in
their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the
effects of RF exposures characteristic of mobile phones have
yielded conflicting results. A few animal studies, however, have
suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development
of cancer in laboratory animals. In one study, mice genetically
altered to be predisposed to developing one type of cancer
developed more than twice as many such cancers when they were
exposed to RF energy compared to controls. There is much
uncertainty among scientists about whether results obtained from
animal studies apply to the use of mobile phones. First, it is
uncertain how to apply the results obtained in rats and mice to
humans. Second, many of the studies that showed increased tumor
development used animals that had already been treated with
cancer-causing chemicals, and other studies exposed the animals
to the RF virtually continuously—up to 22 hours per day.
For the past five years in the United States, the mobile phone
industry has supported research into the safety of mobile phones.
This research has resulted in two findings in particular that merit
additional study:
In a hospital-based, case-control study, researchers looked for an
association between mobile phone use and either glioma (a type of
brain cancer) or acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor of the nerve
56
sheath). No statistically significant association was found between
mobile phone use and acoustic neuroma. There was also no
association between mobile phone use and gliomas when all types
of types of gliomas were considered together. It should be noted
that the average length of mobile phone exposure in this study was
less than three years.
When 20 types of glioma were considered separately, however, an
association was found between mobile phone use and one rare
type of glioma, neuroepithelliomatous tumors. It is possible with
multiple comparisons of the same sample that this association
occurred by chance. Moreover, the risk did not increase with how
often the mobile phone was used, or the length of the calls. In fact,
the risk actually decreased with cumulative hours of mobile phone
use. Most cancer causing agents increase risk with increased
exposure. An ongoing study of brain cancers by the National
Cancer Institute is expected to bear on the accuracy and
repeatability of these results.
1. Researchers conducted a large battery of laboratory tests to
assess the effects of exposure to mobile phone RF on genetic
material. These included tests for several kinds of abnormalities,
including mutations, chromosomal aberrations, DNA strand breaks,
and structural changes in the genetic material of blood cells called
lymphocytes. None of the tests showed any effect of the RF except
for the micronucleus assay, which detects structural effects on the
genetic material. The cells in this assay showed changes after
exposure to simulated cell phone radiation, but only after 24 hours
of exposure. It is possible that exposing the test cells to radiation
for this long resulted in heating. Since this assay is known to be
sensitive to heating, heat alone could have caused the
abnormalities to occur. The data already in the literature on the
response of the micronucleus assay to RF are conflicting. Thus,
follow-up research is necessary.
2. FDA is currently working with government, industry, and
academic groups to ensure the proper follow-up to these industryfunded research findings. Collaboration with the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) in particular is
expected to lead to FDA providing research recommendations and
scientific oversight of new CTIA-funded research based on such
recommendations.
Two other studies of interest have been reported recently in the
literature:
57
Two groups of 18 people were exposed to simulated mobile phone
signals under laboratory conditions while they performed cognitive
function tests. There were no changes in the subjects’ ability to
recall words, numbers, or pictures, or in their spatial memory, but
they were able to make choices more quickly in one visual test
when they were exposed to simulated mobile phone signals. This
was the only change noted among more than 20 variables
compared.
3. In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425 matched controls,
there was no increased risk of brain tumors associated with mobile
phone use. When tumors did exist in certain locations, however,
they were more likely to be on the side of the head where the
mobile phone was used. Because this occurred in only a small
number of cases, the increased likelihood was too small to be
statistically significant.
begin to generate this type of information.
What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of mobile phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting
consumer products such as mobile phones before marketing, as it
does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has
authority to take action if mobile phones are shown to emit
radiation at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case,
FDA could require the manufacturers of mobile phones to notify
users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the
phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory
actions at this time, FDA has urged the mobile phone industry to
take a number of steps to assure public safety. The agency has
recommended that the industry:
4. In summary, we do not have enough information at this point to
assure the public that there are, or are not, any low incident health
problems associated with use of mobile phones. FDA continues to
work with all parties, including other federal agencies and industry,
to assure that research is undertaken to provide the necessary
answers to the outstanding questions about the safety of mobile
phones.
support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of
the type emitted by mobile phones;
What is known about cases of human cancer that have been
reported in users of hand-held mobile phones?
At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency working group of
the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of
mobile phone safety to ensure a coordinated effort at the federal
level. These agencies are:
Some people who have used mobile phones have been diagnosed
with brain cancer. But it is important to understand that this type of
cancer also occurs among people who have not used mobile
phones. In fact, brain cancer occurs in the U.S. population at a rate
of about 6 new cases per 100,000 people each year. At that rate,
assuming 80 million users of mobile phones (a number increasing
at a rate of about 1 million per month), about 4800 cases of brain
cancer would be expected each year among those 80 million
people, whether or not they used their phones. Thus it is not
possible to tell whether any individual’s cancer arose because of the
phone, or whether it would have happened anyway. A key question
is whether the risk of getting a particular form of cancer is greater
among people who use mobile phones than among the rest of the
population. One way to answer that question is to compare the
usage of mobile phones among people with brain cancer with the
use of mobile phones among appropriately matched people without
brain cancer. This is called a case-control study. The current casecontrol study of brain cancers by the National Cancer Institute, as
well as the follow-up research to be sponsored by industry, will
58
design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to
the user that is not necessary for device function ; and cooperate in
providing mobile phone users with the best possible information on
what is known about possible effects of mobile phone use on
human health.

In the absence of conclusive information about any possible risk,
what can concerned individuals do?
If there is a risk from these products—and at this point we do not
know that there is—it is probably very small. But if people are
concerned about avoiding even potential risks, there are simple
steps they can take to do so. For example, time is a key factor in
how much exposure a person receives. Those persons who spend
long periods of time on their hand-held mobile phones could
59
consider holding lengthy conversations on conventional phones and
reserving the hand-held models for shorter conversations or for
situations when other types of phones are not available.
People who must conduct extended conversations in their cars
every day could switch to a type of mobile phone that places more
distance between their bodies and the source of the RF, since the
exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example,
they could switch to a mobile phone in which the antenna is located
outside the vehicle, a hand-held phone with a built-in antenna
connected to a different antenna mounted on the outside of the car
or built into a separate package, or a headset with a remote
antenna to a mobile phone carried at the waist.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that mobile phones
are harmful. But if people are concerned about the radiofrequency
energy from these products, taking the simple precautions outlined
above can reduce any possible risk.
